Different Types of Intellectual Property:
At Sharif|Faust Lawyers, Ltd., we will help you understand which aspects of your company’s intellectual property are protectable and what methods you should utilize to protect them. Copyright is traditionally associated with creative works, such as literature, music, and movies, but it also can be applied to certain computer hardware and software, as well as boat hulls. Trademarks protect the names and logos under which goods are sold. Trade secrets apply to those important aspects of a business which are not known the public at large. Patents protect inventions, systems, and ideas if they meet certain minimum criteria. Sharif | Faust Lawyers, Ltd. can help you prosecute applications for your copyrights and trademarks. We can also help prosecute lawsuits related to each of these aspects of intellectual property.
